* Chainat Straw Bird FestivalChainat Straw Bird Festival
Rice-fields predominate the landscape of Chainat Province where rice is a major commercial crop grown. Hay, a by-product of rice cultivation, is available in great abundance. This has led to an initiative by the villagers to creatively transform this agricultural by-product into a craft and an economic asset.
Hay from the fields is used to make bird-shaped hay stacks known as the "Hoon Fang". Colourful, in various shapes and forms and true to life, these hay structures, the key attraction of the Chainat Hoon Fang Straw Bird Fair are so extraordinary, they have become the province's most popular attraction. To produce a top quality, intricate piece of handicraft from the hay, the farmers also grade the hay which is then crafted into miniature straw birds. The miniature straw birds have become a popular item among tourists as a souvenir of their visit to Chainat.
The Chainat Straw-Bird Festival features a variety of activities such as Straw-Bird Contests, "Young Talent" Contests, village handicraft competitions, a Light-And-Sound show, special performances, sales of products under the "One Village. One Product" theme, and exhibits by the state sector.

* Chainat Straw Bird FestivalChainat Straw Bird Festival
Rice-fields predominate the landscape of Chainat Province where rice is a major commercial crop grown. Hay, a by-product of rice cultivation, is available in great abundance. This has led to an initiative by the villagers to creatively transform this agricultural by-product into a craft and an economic asset.
Hay from the fields is used to make bird-shaped hay stacks known as the "Hoon Fang". Colourful, in various shapes and forms and true to life, these hay structures, the key attraction of the Chainat Hoon Fang Straw Bird Fair are so extraordinary, they have become the province's most popular attraction. To produce a top quality, intricate piece of handicraft from the hay, the farmers also grade the hay which is then crafted into miniature straw birds. The miniature straw birds have become a popular item among tourists as a souvenir of their visit to Chainat.
The Chainat Straw-Bird Festival features a variety of activities such as Straw-Bird Contests, "Young Talent" Contests, village handicraft competitions, a Light-And-Sound show, special performances, sales of products under the "One Village. One Product" theme, and exhibits by the state sector.

Pattaya Players (Home of Pattaya's Professional Amateurs) is proud to announce their upcoming audition for 'Play On!' by Rick Abbot. There are 10 parts for adult males and females of varying ages. This comical farce is about a group of actors attempting to put on a play in the midst of continuous re-writes. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does, like when the authoress decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain call. You will be treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious romp.
Auditions will be held at The Eastern Grand Palace Hotel at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, February 28, 2012. All interested parties both talent-wise and back stage should plan on attending. The performances will take place on June 15-16, 2012 in The Eastern Grand Palace Hotel. The director of the show is also currently searching for an "Assistant Director/Stage Manager" to help out with production rehearsals and general show support.
